Tommy Bohanon Foundation kicks off free youth football camp
The annual Tommy Bohanon Foundation Youth Football Camp is set to kick off on Saturday, June 21 at North Fort Myers High School.
Registration is free and openes Thursday, May 15. Student-athletes in first through eighth grades in Southwest Florida are eligible to participate.
Campers will expand their love and knowledge of football with the help of experienced coaches providing hands-on training, including NFL-style drills that also lay a solid foundation for good sportsmanship.
The session starts at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 1 p.m. at the high school stadium. Athletes should wear shorts and a T-shirt and bring socks and football cleats (sneakers are acceptable if the athlete does not have cleats). Athletes should also bring a refillable water bottle.
Lunch will be provided by Tropical Smoothie Café and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office will have sweet treats for all participants at the end of the day.
“This is one of our most significant events of the year,” said Foundation President Tommy Bohanon. “It’s always amazing to watch the kids out on the field, laughing, having fun, and not only learning the game but also picking up important life lessons.”
Sponsors for the camp include Extreme Companies of Florida, ABC Septic Service, Advanced Seamless Gutters, Arthur Printing, Associates in Digestive Health, Barry Goettemoeller Remax, Garramone Board Certified Plastic Surgery, Gastroenterology Associates, Gastroenterology Group of Naples, Goliath Fishing, James Towing & Recovery, Johnny Prevatt & Sons Paving, Kari Mann Dental Studio, Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Nor-Tech Hi Performance Boats, Personal Touch Banquet & Catering, Priority Marketing, Specific Care Chiropractic, Taylor Carpet One, Thomas Family Charitable Trust and Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
